Kessel is not on this team anymore. Why don't we keep tabs on how Wayne Primeau is doing? How about Brad Stuart? Where are the updates on Chuck Kobasew? And I'm shocked that people aren't up in arms that Joe Thornton is leading the league in points.

The Bruins have a good group of talent, albeit mostly underachievers this year, and if you are too impatient to root for them to pull it together, there are 29 other franchises in this league who would love your support.

By the way, although Krejci finished a -2, I thought he had a strong game in the offensive zone at least (although no points). It was unfortunate his line didn't get any good looks, because they were cycling quite well. He also drew a tripping penalty that led to one of the Bruins 5-on-3 goals.

Defensively, the entire team was a little off last night. Namely, Chara forgetting to cover Kovalchuk, and letting the sniper walk in alone to make it 5-4 with only a few minutes remaining. It's hard to say whether or not Krejci's -2 is a product of is own mistakes, or other people's. That's why +/- is such a tough stat to analyze for an individual in a single game. The defense was not sharp last night...

see vic heres your deal, you think that hockey is a stats game....of the four major sports it is probably the least driven by stats. Its not baseball okay? 0 points -2, and still a pretty well played game for that line.

Krej is strong on the puck whenever he has it defence or offence and is great on the boards, with more luck his points would be better, the same goes for most B's. 2 goals last night his line were of non-existant and result was the 2 goals.

His game is there but the production has not been. He is not going to sneak by other teams anymore they know his talent and his lines talent so they are checked harder. When the team is back at full strength and hopefully a player with Savard the checking will not be disposed towards his line as much and the focus will be on Savard's(hopefully he gets one). When he has gained more experience he will be better suited to fight through the doldrums and become more effective no matter the team or checkers against him.

As for Kessel, I wanted him signed as I thought our team was on the right steps toward the grail. He is not here so that is the end of it.

TO has always been the team I rooted for when the B's weren't playing. I hate cheering against them(grew up in Ontario and lived in TO in Univ.) and my 2 sons (TO fans) for the sake of a pick, but I have been a B's fan since before the glory days and I have to hope for the worst for TO but I don't see it happening this year, they are playing well. Considering they had a worse start than even us they have scored but their problem is D and G which we have the best.
